This course focuses on building bone density. We start losing bone density from the age of 30, and after menopause this loss increases again! Now is the time to build bone density before you are 60 or 70, but if you are 80 we can still build your bone density! More important for females, but men need to build bone too.
The course will show you how to improve posture, work essential muscles for hip, spine, wrist and shoulder to build bone and improve balance! Bones respond to exercise, they actually become a little thicker. This is Wolff’s law.
“Wolff’s law, developed by the German anatomist and surgeon Julius Wolff (1836–1902) in the 19th century, states that bone in a healthy person or animal will adapt to the loads under which it is placed. If loading on a particular bone increases, the bone will remodel itself over time to become stronger to resist that sort of loading. The internal architecture of the trabeculae undergoes adaptive changes, followed by secondary changes to the external cortical portion of the bone, perhaps becoming thicker as a result.”

Can you please tell me how many PDP’s this course has?
Thank you
Karen
Karen! I only just saw your message – so sorry for the delay! I have not started applying for PDP’s yet. Which alliance are you with?
Karen, just letting you know the course is currently under assessment with the PAA for PDP’s! Is the Pilates Alliance of Australasia the one you are with?
Aloha! I sent you an email, can I take this course online and participate from Hawaii?
I am interested in this course but unfortunately I work on Mondays.
Any chance you will do this on a weekend, and are there any PAA points for this course.
Hi Patricia,
The course is running on May 16! OMG I totally messed up the dates! It is for Sunday May 16.
I hope you can make it!
